Energy Arts Code of Ethics

For Independent Instructors and Practitioners Trained by Bruce Frantzis.

1) PROFESSIONAL CONDUCTInstructors/practitioners conduct themselves in a professional and ethical manner, provide only services for which they are qualified, and represent their education, certification, professional affiliations and other qualifications honestly. They do not in any way claim to practice medicine or psychotherapy, unless licensed by their state or country to do so independently of this certification.

2) COMMUNICATION AND CONFIDENTIALITYInstructors/practitioners maintain clear and honest communication with their clients and students. They clearly disclose techniques used, appropriately identifying each in the scope of their professional practice. Instructors/practitioners keep medical and personal information about their students confidential, especially if requested to do so by the student or client.

3) INTENTION AND TRUSTInstructors/practitioners are encouraged to establish and maintain trust in the client/student relationship and to establish clear boundaries and an atmosphere of safety.

4) AWARENESS AND RESPECT OF CLIENTS/STUDENTS PHYSICAL AND/OR EMOTIONAL CONDITION Instructors/practitioners should communicate with respect and graciousness, whatever the physical, mental and emotional states of the clients/students. Instructors/practitioners must never abuse clients/students through actions, words or silence.

5) PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS Because students and clients may confuse the power of the work with the presenter, the Instructor/practitioner must exercise extreme awareness, sensitivity and caution in entering personal relationships. The Instructor/practitioner is responsible to provide good service and protect the interests of the student/client. As such, the instructor has a responsibility to ensure that anyone with whom he or she has a personal relationship is treated equally to any other student during the course of instruction. The Instructor must guard against giving such a person either special attention or worse treatment than any other student would be given.

Current courses that no instructor is certified to teach include:

Testimonials

Sometimes it can take a setback to wake you up to what is valuable and what isn't. I had been fighting an intense legal battle with devastating effects on my business and on my health. I had to face starting over again very late in life. I couldn't do much about the drain on my time and money; however, I could do something about the drain on my health. Thank God for qigong!
